Is there a way to allow the fingerprint scanner to unlock the passcode as a second security (or even do it the other way around would be better for me as I like to read notifications before unlocking it and putting a different finger on the button counts as a wrong fingerprint.) which then we enter the passcode to unlock phone? I want to use both, not pick between one or the other.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.4
Thanks for your reply. I have that set exactly as you said but it doesn't seem to be a solution to what I was looking for. I'm just looking to know if it was possible to use both the fingerprint and the passcode straight after to unlock a phone. So if you went to check your phone, you either need to do the fingerprint or the passcode to unlock it but what I'm looking to know is can I do both rather than just one of those to unlock it. As in place my finger on it to do the fingerprint scan, then enter the passcode myself after that to unlock the phone.

Ask Apple why not. People here are just users such as yourself.
And I personally don’t see how 2 factor authentication has anything at all to do with what the OP asked in this thread?
No, you cannot do both like that. Once set up, the primary unlock is via fingerprint sensor so that it instantly unlocks when you press home. The passcode is there as a backup and alternative if the fingerprint scanner is nit working (e.g. If dirty) or to verify the user after an update, restart or restore. There is no feature in iOS to require both sequentially.
Ah okay. Thanks very much for the help.

Hello
Yes, you can use passcode and touchID to unlock iDevices.
Go to Settings ==> Touch ID & Passcode ==> Enable iPhone Unlock ==> Enable iTunes & App Store
Please take note that ONLY your passcode can unlock iDevices after a restart (or reboot).
Can we use both fingerprint and passcode to unlock phone?
